Date.com Valentine's Day Tips for Single Seniors

NEW YORK, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Cupid doesn't discriminate and for thousands of single Seniors who will be celebrating Valentine's Day without a significant other this year, Date.com, one of the leading online dating services, has pulled together the following tips to help make this Valentine's Day special!

"When it comes to age, love definitely knows no boundaries," said Brenda Ross, Relationship Advisor for Date.com. "For those who are single, and especially those who have recently experienced the loss of a significant other, the pressure of a romantic-filled evening can be avoided by doing fun activities with friends and close family."

So, make it a Monday Night to remember and hit the local community center's Valentine's Day dance AFTER the early bird special. If dine and dance isn't your cup of tea, try the following:

- Poker Night - Whether your social circle consists of all women, all
men, or a nice mix, why not throw a poker party (or whatever game
you most enjoy) for the gang? Don't forget the spiked punch
cocktails.

- Private Yoga Classes - Take this opportunity to love your body and
hire a private instructor to come to your home, gather with some
friends, and have a relaxing night of centered breathing and
chanting. You'll feel exhilarated afterwards!

- Recapture Your Youth - Get a facial. Join a gym. Take a tennis
class. Try a new hair color. Soak in the whirlpool. Grab a drink
with friends at a nice bar. Go on... hit a concert!

- Turn Grief into a New Beginning - If you are single because of a
recent loss, make this a special day to remember your loved one.
Plant a tree in his or her honor, and tie a red ribbon around it
every Valentine's Day in remembrance.

- Organize Something Honorable - Spend your Valentine's Day with a
group of friends doing volunteer work. Whether it's dishing out food
to those in need, or visiting patients at the local Children's
Hospital, you will be doing a great deed. Who knows, you might enjoy
it so much that it becomes a regular part of your routine!

- Generational Gift Giving - Prefer to spend the evening alone? Why
not mark the day and use your computer to make a family cookbook of
favorite recipes that you've collected over the years, and/or those
that have been handed down by different family members. Wrap the
cookbooks with bright red ribbon and give them out as presents to
your children/grandchildren. It's the perfect gift for the next
generation!

- Tired of being Alone? Adopt a Pet - Not only do pets decrease blood
pressure and make wonderful companions, but a welcome perk is
that they will love you unconditionally! Take it one step further
and adopt a rescued animal - you'll both be glad you did!

- Valentine's Day Dance - Many local community centers host dances and
socials for Seniors on Valentine's Day. It's a great opportunity to
get all dressed up and meet other singles in your community. Men, if
you're lucky, you might even be asked to dance during ladies choice!

- Babysitter in Shining Armor - Looking to get a great
Mother's/Father's Day present this year? Call up your children and
their spouses and offer to take care of the kids so they can go
celebrate. We guarantee they'll pay it forward this spring!

And for those who view February 14th as just another day on the calendar:

- Piggy Bank - Always looking at the bottom line and not interested in
celebrating? Think of all the money you are saving by not buying
flowers, candy and jewelry, and just go about your daily routine!
